Reverse shoulder replacement surgery

I'm working on my 6th month, it's a slow process, I can get my arm almost all the way up, I figure another month. I'm 75. I've have or had PT starting at once a week then went to twice a week. I now use weights. I'm only using 10 lbs in the left (where the work was done) but plan on going to 15 maybe next week. I stretch EVERY day with all the different methods the PT gave me. I believe it will be 6 to 8 months and I'll have it all back. Yes, I had the full reverse shoulder replacement. OH, I still feel stiff, but I'm thinking that will be the new feeling. I mean I don't expect it to feel just like the other side after all there is a lot of nickel in there and no cuff. What an improvement from before I started this process though. I'd do it again.

I don’t know when I will finally be able to lift my arm to wash my hair! I go to PT 3x a week, using the door pulleys. I’m hoping this scar tissue will give some and I can stop having this blowers horn effect.
